July 14, 2007 - Someone or another has decreed that the run will once again be held at Indian Creek Camp Resort. After discussions regarding some of it's shortcomings, lack of privacy, stanky shithouses, dead bodies, etc. compared to Buccaneer's stanky shithouses, skanky showers, dilapidated road, isolation from stores & restaurants etc, it was determined that it was kindof a wash.

August 8, 2006 - The 2006 EKIII run is history, and history is likely to show it was the biggest, to date! With folk coming from the four corners to celebrate Eddie's birthday, it twas shirley an international gathering of the faithful. MANs, SENs, Canadians and even a contingent from the Pacific Nortwet made the trek to celebrate with Eddie.

To most everyone's disappointment, BeckyBoo did not show up.

Someone or another (TL & Sue) did their usual outstanding job of putting it together and keeping it on track.

For those who could not just show up, Steve Shein set up his mobile, live webcam. Webcasting began late Thursday and provided live evidence that we came this >< close to having fun!

Besides the annual run to Broadfield Manor and to Eddie's at Geneva-on-the-Lake, we engaged in the requisite swapping of lies, and some great eating courtesy of the Bitches. We helped some guy move his deck (we were promised beer, but we got PBR instead). There was lots of musical entertainment including dueling ukes, some blonde with a guitar performed for us, and nightly concerts by Big Piper. Milo was slimed. Roach demonstrated his catch-and-release style.

Eddie was more lucid than he's been in years. T'was a real pleasure to see a smile on his face and a sparkle in his eye, to see him responding tohis friends and laughing at Roach's jokes. As DP said "Like so many of these long distance IRL hookups, the gathering of the clan was by far greater than the sum of the roads we all took getting there."
